What impressed you positively?

WashU seems fantastically supportive of its students on many different levels. The administration is receptive to student views and suggestions. The facilities are really nice, and there is a new learning center in the stages of being constructed (slated to be complete by spring 2005). They provide a nice lunch for you, and you can stay at their medical dorm for one night. WashU is situated in a nice area of St. Louis- nice big park nearby.

What impressed you negatively?

The medical school dorm leaves some things to be desired.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you do stay in Olin Hall, the bathrooms and showers are shared (on the floor).

What are your general comments?

Low-stress level interview. The interviewers try to make you feel as comfortable as possible and create a free-flowing conversation to get to know more about you. Everyone (students, docs, admin) was really nice and accomodating. The med students seemed really happy to be there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
